How difficult is it for you to understand that any player plays better when match fit than when they are coming back from a lay off. He had a poor game on Tuesday and a poster suggested that not having match sharpness may have contributed to a below par performance. If you think that poster or any one is deluded for agreeing with that reasonable post you have learned little about sport performance in your years of watching it. Why not take time off from negative posting and watch the game again. You will see the same poor passes you saw before and if your eyes and mind are open you will see that he made numerous passes directly to teammates as well and not just backwards and sideways. For someone who has watched football for 57 years you don't seem to have grown out of infantile playground name calling whenever some post doesn't fall in line with your opinion. If I am deluded it is a better place to be than being blind to the blatantly obvious fact that a player can do good things as well as bad things in a game but you can only see the bad. Maybe the snowflakes you see are the ones on your screen during matches, that might explain a lot.
